Kandy Trip 7/2/07
So here goes the long story...
I woke up in the morning on the wrong side of the bed. First thing in the morning Seetha was bugging me again with thahti asking what i want to eat for breakfast, i didn't respond and in no time seetha came with a whole plate of food with chapthi and chola, right to my lap. I got so annoyed i just stomped away and ran to my room. I started crying because thathi didn't take me anywhere for a long time and i needed book covers for my school books, which i asked repeatedly to buy them but he did not say yes. I was a fool, idiot, dumbass, jackass to believe that anuty elizabteh and uncle glendora didnt want to go anywhere. what a fool i am. I cryed for nothing and thathi told me that we were all going to make a trip to Kandy and stay in a hotel. At first i didnt want to leave sparky but then i realized i should take advantage of this trip. So we all had a matter of 10 mins to get ready and pack our things. Then we hit the road. It took me a little while till i got in the mood for the trip. We had to stop at HNB bank to get some money, then we officially went. The ride there was pretty long but we all kept ourselves entertained with music and jokes and laughter. We sang indian songs too. On the way we saw lots of fruits: rumbutan, pineapple, watermelon, and got cashew kellas putting the hand out like a hook to stop cars. About half way we stopped at a cafe called Ambepussa and got some malu pang, chinese rolls, and we all got some fresh juices from jucieez. Elizabeth Aunty and I got watermelon juice, Shana got mixed fruit and glen uncle got woodapple. Thathi got water. Finally we were off but somewhere along the way some stone got in the car wheel and thathi decided he needed to repair that immediately. We stopped and one boy from the tire shop came and fixed it a little but there was still more to be done. In about another hour or so we arrived in Kandy, Hilltop hotel. Hilltop was actually a really nice hotel, we all were very happy with it. Thathi left us to fix up the car. First thing when we got there, we had some papaya juice as a welcome drink. After we settled in our room and planned to go swimming. We changed to our swim suits and left for the pool but it was very uncomfortable becuase there was another family already there and some white boys came after too. The pool lifeguard asked why im wearing a t shirt in the pool because i guess thats not allowed. We ignored him anyway and continued with our swim. Then we were disturbed again by some stupid lady asking if i was sick and about to throw up? We just said i had a little cold and brushed it off. They made us feel real embarassed. Anyway, we stayed in the pool for a long time till everyone else left and in the end we had the whole pool to ourseleves. We went back to the room had a wash, changed, and relaxed for a little while till the dinner buffet was ready. We watched maha gedara and then left for dinner. I wore my sharwani, Shana wore a simple short pants and a top and her mom and dad also wore just normal outfits but still we all looked nice. The buffet was looking really nice with a variety of food from sri lankan to spagetti. They offered entertainment and a group of guys and a girl came to us playing instruments and asking for requests. We asked for 3 songs and glen uncle tipped them about 500 rupees. It was great fun, not to mention when we got back to the room we stayed up dancing ballroom and country style with music from the hotel radio. After all that we were really tired, chatted a bit and slept. Thathi came back about midnight and went right to bed as well.
